Measurement of CP violation at a Neutrino Factory
The prospects of measuring CP violation in the leptonic sector using the
intense neutrino beams arising from muon decay in the straight sections of a
muon accumulator ring (the so-called neutrino factory) are discussed.Comment: Invited talk given at the CP2000 Conference in Ferrara, September,

CP Trajectory Diagram; A tool for pictorial representation of CP and matter effects in neutrino oscillations
We introduce "CP trajectory diagram in bi-probability space" as a powerful
tool for pictorial representation of the genuine CP and the matter effects in
neutrino oscillations. Existence of the correlated ambiguity in a determination
of CP violating phase \delta and the sign of \Delta m^2_{13} is uncovered.
Principles of tuning beam energy for a given baseline distance are proposed to
resolve the ambiguity and to maximize the CP-odd effect. We finally point out,
quite contrary to what is usually believed, that the ambiguity may be resolved
with 50 % chance in the super-JHF experiment despite its relatively short
baseline of 300 km.Comment: 6 pages with 2 postscript figures. Talk presented at The 3rd

Natural Mass Generation for the Sterile Neutrino
We point out that there is a serious cosmological problem in the
supersymmetric standard model if a sterile neutrino is responsible for the
solar neutrino oscillation, and propose a possible solution to this problem. We
show that our solution induces naturally a mass of order 10^{-4} eV for the
sterile neutrino, which is deeply related to the mechanism of supersymmetry
breaking.Comment: 8 pages, no figures, minor changes, reference adde
The Three Neutrino Scenario
I have discussed in my talk several remaining issues in the standard
three-flavor mixing scheme of neutrinos, in particilar, the sign of and the leptonic CP violating phase. In this report I focus on two
topics: (1) supernova method for determining the former sign, and (2)
illuminating how one can detect the signatures for both of them in
long-baseline (\gsim 10 km) neutrino oscillation experiments. I do this by
formulating perturbative frameworks appropriate for the two typical options of
such experiments, the high energy and the low energy options with beam energies
of 10 GeV and 100 MeV, respectively.Comment: 6 pages, Latex, 2 figures. Talk presented at Europhysics Neutrino

Stability of Neutral Fermi Balls with Multi-Flavor Fermions
A Fermi ball is a kind of non-topological soliton, which is thought to arise
from the spontaneous breaking of an approximate symmetry and to
contribute to cold dark matter. We consider a simple model in which fermion
fields with multi-flavors are coupled to a scalar field through Yukawa
coupling, and examine how the number of the fermion flavors affects the
stability of the Fermi ball against the fragmentation. (1)We find that the
Fermi ball is stable against the fragmentation in most cases even in the lowest
order thin-wall approximation. (2)We then find that in the other specific
cases, the stability is marginal in the lowest order thin-wall approximation,
and the next-to-leading order correction determines the stable region of the
coupling constants; We examine the simplest case where the total fermion number
and the Yukawa coupling constant of each flavor are common to
the flavor, and find that the Fermi ball is stable in the limited region of the
parameters and has the broader region for the larger number of the flavors.Comment: 10 pages, 3 eps figures, ReVTeX
The Two Loop Long Range Effect on the Proton Decay Effective Lagrangian
We calculate the two loop long range effect on the proton decay effective
Lagrangian. Numerical calculation for suppression factor gives 2-loop for the value of the strong coupling constant . Two loop effect to more general effective Lagrangian is also given.Comment: 11 pages, 1 figures(uuencoded postscript file
Proposal of a Simple Method to Estimate Neutrino Oscillation Probability and CP Violation in Matter
We study neutrino oscillation within the framework of three generations in
matter. We propose a simple method to approximate the coefficients A, B and C
which do not depend on the CP phase \delta in the oscillation probability
P(\nu_e \to \nu_{\mu})=A\cos \delta + B\sin \delta +C. An advantage of our
method is that an approximate formula of the coefficients A, B and C in
arbitrary matter {\it without the usual first order perturbative calculations}
of the small parameter \Delta m_{21}^2/\Delta m_{31}^2 or \sin \theta_{13} can
be derived. Furthermore we show that all the approximate formulas for low,
intermediate and high energy regions given by other authors in constant matter
can be easily derived from our formula. It means that our formula is applicable
over a wide energy region.Comment: 15 pages, 9 figures, accepted version in PL
Method for Determination of in Neutrino Oscillation Appearance Experiments
We point out that determination of the MNS matrix element |U_{e3}| = s_{13}
in long-baseline \nu_{\mu} \to \nu_e neutrino oscillation experiments suffers
from large intrinsic uncertainty due to the unknown CP violating phase \delta
and sign of \Delta m^2_{13}. We propose a new strategy for accurate
determination of ; tune the beam energy at the oscillation maximum
and do the measurement both in neutrino and antineutrino channels. We show that
it automatically resolves the problem of parameter ambiguities which involves
\delta, \theta_{13}, and the sign of \Delta m^2_{13}.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, minor corrections, final version to appear in
